I definitely was an emasculated teen and young man. I'm currently 27 and had an awakening about a year ago, doing everything in my power now to become a man who is proud of himself. Good luck to all my brothers on the same journey!
we muslims have non of this decadence. we are proud and when we die and fight for our land you call us what?!?!
Proud of you bro. Feminism is a lie.
Police the grooming and abuse of non Muslim women and you won’t make so many enemies.
I'm 36 and have been going through this process for a while.
@@ahmadfrhan5265 You make a fair point.
Patrick is absolutely right, we recognize the wrong people, we prioritize problems that aren't important, making mountains out of molehills.
Eugene people have no idea what’s coming watch this video called the elites plan to depopulate the world to 1 billion I’m afraid it’s to late now everyone is so easily distracted by crap like Will Smith while humanity is facing the worst evil imaginable god help us all A Grey State trailer watch it after the first one
Because we "Listen to women"
@@Macheako Well, men haven't really done a good job at taking care of their women overall. This is what happens when there's a single crack in the concrete. America was at war with itself when it should've unified as a whole but you created the rott that spread across the entire West
Agreed... reality of priorities have been completely distorted. We praise victim culture and tear down individualism and self made mentality. We gravitate toward collectivism and shun the underdog that raises above. We prioritize the safeguarding of the complainer and beat down those with strength. It's completely bass ackward.
@@christiandunham8481 Well, a lot of rich billionaires are not self made ie. Kylie Jenner.
A mom of three boys here. What I've seen around where I live, a lot of changes for the worse comes from children left alone to be raised by fast food, TV, School, and the internet.
Both mom and dad are too busy chasing their career and needs, the children are left alone. Do this for a few generations, now you got a product of whatever the social media wants you to be.
I think this is just a comeuppance on how the West invades other communities and countries. There are natural boundaries that you continue to violate and now you think you can bend reality. Western colonialism and imperialism has a price.
You forgot about the fact that many times there is no dad.
And the empowered woman can have risky sex with whomever she wants. If she gets pregnant while practicing risky sex and ends up alone and pregnant, how empowering was it for her? MEN AND WOMAN are both needed and play vital roles in reproduction and family well being.
Having a mother in the house to care for children while father could make a living off one wage…. Those were the golden years
@MAGA_Gal ?
Not everybody is rich to have that luxury. Are you saying poor people shouldn’t have kids ?
Masculinity is not something that can disappear. It is ingrained in our psyche. For this reason, legends and myths from thousands of years ago still speak to us. The focus is put much more on clowns and entertainers these days rather than mature men.
If you are a man reading this, focus on becoming the kind of man you would admire and look up to and be exactly that for the younger generation as well. Complaining about what doesn't work won't bring anything. Be the change that you want to see around you!
All the best to you, reader!
Wise words 👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
You missed the point
@@boop5287 Feel free to go more into details. All the best to you!
Masculity is not dying, it's being arrested, but the process to setting it free again in one specific individual is really hard and time consuming...
@@ThiagoVasconcelos46 IF you are on your own journey of becoming a mature man, feel free to use the resources I share on Mastery Order. Challenge yourself with some ideas and maybe find the solutions for your hardships.
As hard as it may be, it is our duty to become the kind of men we would also admire so that the next generation has someone to look up to as an example.
I wish you strength, wisdom, and willpower to become the change that you want to see around you and to continue to pursue your vision of becoming a mature man.
All the best to you!
I’m so glad I grew up in the 90s. It was very cool ! No social media no Tinder. I’ve got great memories from
High school and still have the same high school best friends.
No doubt. 💯
i member. back when mtv actually played music videos.
@@__shifty 1985
Being born in 1989 it was magical growing up in the 90's, maybe even too good. I think that society started to get more toxic around 2004 and exponentially worse every year since 2008.
@@mikesteelheart fellow 89er and can 100% agree.
As a 60yo father of 3 boys who turned into men I think the biggest difference between the way I was raised and the way they have been raised is in the activity levels. Video games, the Internet and too much homework. Those 3 things confined my boys to the house whereas I was rarely home.
That's the price of technological progress and imperialism. You traded your freedoms for comfort. You had an abundance of resources that you don't really need whilst the more manly men are in the harsher countries in harsher environments.
Too much homework for DAMN SURE
Infrastructure too. Where I live there is street after street and house after house (a suburb) with no nature and beauty. Why would the youth want to go out and explore that sh*t.
I grew up in the 80s. We had homework and that was without computers where we had to go to the library, learn the dewey decimal system to find books, use the click-click typewriter and making sure the right margin was justified for our term papers. But we also played outside, baseball, frisbee football, kickball and made sure the balls didn’t go in the neighbor yard that had the dogs and I played along with the boys all of the time, ‘make sure you are in this house before the street lights comes on.’ If I played that way today, they would try to trans me.
@@nicholascroixet8089 Also overpopulation saturating the land ownership market. Everywhere you go, it's a place that either someone owns or owned by the government. If it's an interesting place open to the public, there will be a lot of people there like a tourist attraction. There aren't any places in the world that feel wild, uncharted, and free to explore anymore.
Female over here...thankful these conversations are becoming more public - we need more masculine men! Trust me, us women want this so much for you!!
Tell the girls to stop moaning about us and tell the mothers to stop raising their kids like the man of their dreams rather than the man they'd need
@@boblotoldo3051 tell fathers to take some responsibility too and raise their sons to be men. Instead of going out to get some milk. See?? Goes both ways. And children literally need both parents to grow up properly.
@@boblotoldo3051 😂
Wdym we need more masculine men? Masculine men are literally the majority 💀
@@lolong5976 you do realize you can have both parents and still have men to grow up feminine like
A friend of mine had mental issues and went to his female doctor to get his testosteron tested and it came back at 248 ng/dl and she responded with its fine. He is only 24. At 24 a man should have anywhere between 600/1000 ng/dl! And the fact that a doctor says its fine so she can prescribe mental drugs instead because its easier highlighted a major problem for me. If this keeps going in 2050 it will not be uncommon to have 1/10 of man to be infertile.
Anthropologists theorize that one in twelve men, and one in twelve women, were infertile back in the day. This average has been steady up until recently, like, say, around 1960, when eating processed foods became more and more the norm. If infertility increases from ~8% to ~10% that's really not all that much of an increase. My gut tells me that infertility will increase much more than that due to a myriad of modern factors.
I hope your friend gets his levels higher. Mine came back as 537 last year. Doctor also just said it’s fine.
I had my testosterone levels evaluated by a female physician, two years ago. I went to a male clinic, who prescribed me testosterone, after consulting with a female physician.
@@tarico4436 Agree!
gonna be higher than 1/10, more like 1/6 or 1/5
The problem in America is people only think of masculinity as strong muscles when it is so much more then that. Being strong may be a result of masculinity but biblically it is described as humble leadership. That’s rare to find in this day and age and that’s why their is a distinction between masculinity (strong, humble, leader) and toxic masculinity (strong, arrogant, follower).
By the time he was 25, my dad's generation fought and won a war, got married, bought homes and had a couple of kids. Now we have 40 year-olds playing video games and "thinking about" what they will do with their life.
With all due respect to you and your father, many in your father's generation could obtain a good paying job, without a high school diploma. Furthermore, most of the blue collar workers in your father's generation, did not seek further education. After work, many of the men in your father's generation came home and sat down in front of their new black and white television, and/or went to the bar, instead of going to the local library and/or taking classes. Most of the adults of your father's generation entrusted their children's education, socialization, and babysitting to the government. Instead of being more active in their children's development. Those children and students from your father's generation became teachers.
The elected officials from your father's generation created a good and most corrupt system in US history, which is social security. Your father's generation had some incredible human beings. Your father's generation had many people who were absent of principles, virtues, character, and ethics. "The Greatest Generation" was very good; yet, not great, because future generations are experiencing challenges created by your father's generation.
Currently, there are many more effeminate men; yet, there are currently a lot of men who are developing their principles, virtues, character and ethics, while improving their professional and personal skills and relationships.
Most old men I know are kind of grouchy and bitter. I wonder if it's the wife, the kids, needing to "act tough" and "just get over it", or all of the above. I'll take a laid back and chill guy over a cynical asshole.
@@ShyMplsMale Most of those old men, did not and do not consistently practice proper moral, nutritional, physical training, mental training, and relationship protocols; yet, have an arrogant attitude. USA grumpy old men will refer to their past accomplishments, while currently complaining about the country's problems they created, and taking more social security than they paid. What is worse, these same USA grumpy old men will smile to their grandchildren with "love and affection"; yet, elected government officials who made decisions to "sodomize" their grandchildren.
"The superior man is he who develops in harmonious proportion his moral, intellectual, and physical nature. This should be the end at which men of all classes should aim, and it is this which constitutes real greatness." Douglas Jerrold
USA grumpy old men are not superior men, while being to insecure to admit their chosen inferiority.
Nothing wrong with playing video games but you can’t let it take over you cause of depression.
Also ur dad had it easy besides whatever war he had and the housing market was cheap af
@Jerry Stevens Desert Storm started, at the time I was twenty-five, and in the military. A year later after 9/11/2001, I was in Airborne school. After WW2 and/or Korea, many American young men and women shed their blood on foreign battlefields!
Adam gets it right here, not only by his words. He's also the embodiment of disappearing masculinity.

You gotta have "good" guy and "bad" guy to create balance I suppose.
As a woman, I’m so tired of emasculated men. It makes dating difficult and I really hope men wake up and know it’s ok to be masculine.
Agreed, but we are also tired of masculine women.
Stfu, men can be whatever they want to be just like how a woman can be a tomboy, men don’t exist so you can date them.

Bro said he wishes he could go to war. Like dude the army’s always hiring, nothing stopping you from going to war

80's movies and 80's TV sitcoms would always portray the aggressive masculine jocks as bad guys, while the soft meek sensitive males would always get the girl in the end.
Wow. That’s an excellent observation.
@@ggates5371 TV trained me to be sensitive and meek... women actually hate that.
True, but the music industry at the time said the opposite. Also, in sitcoms, the father was always in charge.
@@miamitten1123 I watched Married With Children so I disagree. They made most males incompetent or weak. Same with Marcy's husband on that show. Those males were dominated on the show. Also Simpsons, Who's the boss, Family guy, ect.. weak dumb goofy dominated males.
@@vinceofyork Women like men who are genuinely kind. That's nothing to do with being 'meek'.
When I was a kid in the 80s I remember cutting the grass with my dad, I wanted to smoke a pipe like he did, if I misbehaved he would set me straight with a belt, I remember his Brut cologne when he'd give me a hug, how he worked 14 hour days to support us, and how he treated my mother and sisters with respect and love. When he would come home he would have a whisky while chatting with my mom, or he would change and play basketball with me. Ultimate man!
🤣
good dads aren't appreciated enough, or acknowledged enough, they are becoming invisible, especially their hard work and our admiration for them
Patrick with yet another on-the-spot observation on the topic at hand.
I think it’s all but gone from inner city men. In my opinion, there’s gonna be (if not already happening) a resurgence of men recapturing masculinity or at least rediscovering it.
the movement has already begin.
What is inner city?
@@christinemaure4216 where you're not from. The urban area/streets.

Camille Paglia needs to be on these podcasts! She did so much work on gender and society in the 90s and would be such a valuable contributor to this conversation!
In her magnum opus, "S.P." Paglia wrote a lot on decadence. What a great read that was back in the early 90s!
@@tarico4436 yes! Sexual Personae is an amazing and thought provoking read. I wish she would keep herself out there!
I dont understand where people get this idea that the Roman Empire fell because men werent men anymore. It is lot more complicated than that. The problem with the Internet is that knowledge becomes 'fact' based on popularity and viral trends, not for actually being correct. This interview is all over the place
Tre. Most of these guys have no idea what they're talking about. Most of their thoughts are about how they feel and what they think will appeal to their uninformed audience. No facts or nuance.
Look at that guy saying he wish there's was a war. Laughable.
Happens to every affluent society and will continue to happen to any society that becomes affluent even eastern cultures. It is the natural order of things and cannot be stopped.
Underrated point. A lot is said specifically about 'the West' and 'Western men', but if you go all the way to the far East you will observe the same phenomenon in countries like Japan and South Korea. Arguably to a larger degree. China also isn't some beacon of male masculinity if we are honest...
All these aformentioned nations have wildly different cultures and values then the Western hemisphere... Yet experience much of the same issues. The real common denominator is they have ascended the bottom levels of Maslow's hierarchy. When you generally don't have worry about food, money, hars labor... this is the end result. When life is easy and survival is ensured, there is no need to go the extra mile to develop yourself into something that's not really required for said survival. Why be strong when you don't have to hunt mamooths. You don't need strength to buy mayonaise in the grocery store...
@@advancedapathy1531 If that's the case, then why is it such a problem then for men not being masculine if then don't have to?
Is it that the stereotype that men should be consdiered strong 💪 still exist even though there is no need for the average male to be that way? (Trying to discuss I guess if I seem ignorant)
Yesterday my dad said something to me (I'm 18 and graduating in few months) that really struck a chord with me
"Don't think, never think, thinking slows you down, plants doubts and fear. You act. Leave no room for thoughts, just act."
He graduated top of his university and a semester earlier than everyone else. He entered top businesses and was successful in it. He was also a thinker. Then he quit his job before he got married to pursue his dream
As David Goggins said "do not let your mind take over your body, let your body take over your mind"
My dad wasn't talking about being a thoughtless zombie, he was saying grow some balls and conviction
No offence but that not type of advice i am going to even consider giving any human beings
Left alone my child.
There is legit no merit in such behaviour only sheer stupidity and regrets at end of your life
Bad advice. Proper action comes hand-in-hand with proper thinking.
If you think too much, this might be decent advice because you'll think less and stop overthinking.
Otherwise, it's not too great of advice. The right action comes from the right thoughts. You might not need to think it all the way through every time but you need to think a little lol
That’s terrible advice 😂

I don't think it's disappearing. There's masculine guys out there, plenty, it's just that women have become more masculine and so a dude has to dang near be "toxically masculine" if he wants to stand out.
I think some women have become more masculine but it's not the majority. that depends on what ur interpretation of masculine is of course. but I men are secure in their masculinity then said man should not feel the need to out masculine another person
Cmon bruh you can’t deny it’s disappearing. It definitely is on the decline but obviously we still have masculine men in society.
@@lisa.222 so,
1. Studies have shown the women being in the workplace encourages testosterone production in women.
and
2. Men being “secure” in their masculinity isn’t the issue here. It’s men being masculine enough for a more masculine generation of women.
@@banki8008 it’s not on the decline. At all.
what do you consider a masculine man, these guys?
This is a great clip. We definitely need more people talking about this.
Feminism IS talking about it, how to keep the trend going....
@@GenXrealist1 NONE of those females are happy.
Very true but PBD is a masculine man and the other two there, rolo, and fresh and fit are all beta and no where near masculine. The problem is we have non masculine men trying to talk about masculinity. They don't even know what it is to be masculine. PBD needs to actually find masculine men for his platform

@@danielroyer9442 how are you defining masculinity?
I love that Valuetainment is discussing this issue in society!🙌🏽
THE POWER PROCESS
33. Human beings have a need (probably based in biology) for something that we will call the "power process." This is closely related to the need for power (which is widely recognized) but is not quite the same thing. The power process has four elements. The three most clear-cut of these we call goal, effort and attainment of goal. (Everyone needs to have goals whose attainment requires effort, and needs to succeed in attaining at least some of his goals.) The fourth element is more difficult to define and may not be necessary for everyone. We call it autonomy and will discuss it later (paragraphs 42-44).
34. Consider the hypothetical case of a man who can have anything he wants just by wishing for it. Such a man has power, but he will develop serious psychological problems. At first he will have a lot of fun, but by and by he will become acutely bored and demoralized. Eventually he may become clinically depressed. History shows that leisured aristocracies tend to become decadent. This is not true of fighting aristocracies that have to struggle to maintain their power. But leisured, secure aristocracies that have no need to exert themselves usually become bored, hedonistic and demoralized, even though they have power. This shows that power is not enough. One must have goals toward which to exercise one's power.
35. Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.
36. Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.
37. Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.
For a person that is masculine, this is fine! Less competition!
But less fun in less competition
I think this is why Yellowstone is so popular. John Dutton is a badass. Rip wheeler is a badass. Women want to be with them and men want to be them.

Toxic feminism is a much bigger problem.
@@selfiekroos1777 hows so?
Women acting like women when when they please, then switching to male dominance when they can pull it off. Abusing the double standard. Using their wiles to manipulate and antagonize all the while going unchecked. If you don't know that, you're alone.
I see it as a blessing. Not because i think its true, not at all in fact. But it shows me wich people to keep out of my life.

I was noticing masculinity in the 2000's(back in highschool) was somewhat going away, now I see alot of feminine men.
I noticed it with the rise of Justin beiber in ‘09
I noticed it too. Back then it was called metro sexual I think....
I found Karen Straughan's video "feminism and the disposable male" when I was 17 in 2012 and it blew my mind. It was the first time in my life I found anyone criticizing feminism, defending men and acknowledging this abusive anti-male trend in modern society. Shortly after that I found The Myth of Male Power by Dr. Warren Farrell. It was released in 1994 but has only become more relevant as time goes on. I cried reading that book. I had been so abused and emasculated growing up, with no acknowledgment this was happening. The story was always "women are oppressed, men are the oppressors". Nobody wanted to admit they were using that narrative to do the exact opposite. I have zero interest in a gender war of men vs. women. I only care about self-determination and empowerment of all human beings. Ten years ago it was almost impossible to get anyone around me to admit this at all. But ask any man in a private room and they'll admit it instantly.
I'm sorry to hear it, this is fact and I feel it too so I have empathy for you but even though I haven't walked in your shoes I can share my experience.
As a woman i appreciate natural femininity in women and masculinity in men and at the same time also honour a healthy balance of energies in each individual. Still it's truly difficult to fit into a culture and society which looks at "equality" in this odd and off base way in which our world's dominant culture does today. It's made men feel shit about themselves their feelings as well as their masculinity.
And even for women the natural feminine tendencies are something you're made to feel guilty or ashamed about by the social norms and conditioning.
I feel like these are transformational times nonetheless.
If you look at others around you you're always going to find the dynamics which aren't working so no point trying to fit in. If it doesnt resonate with our core, we must look within to honour our own inner truth.
This saddens me, we need more masculine men. I called this with my friends a few years ago in a debate. True women needed and still need to be empowered, but we cannot do this by belittle men and asking them to tone down. Feminism is still being pushed so hard. I am afraid it will only get worse.
the fact that you said women need to be empowered, would not sit very well with like 90% of this earth, no way you can walk up to someone or walk into media saying that, or you're done
Even my husband, who is the oldest of 5 boys, got way too much indoctrination that emasculated him. For the first good chunk of our marriage, I didn't help anything at all. I'm so grateful I woke up to all these problems and can now conscientiously reclaim my femininity because that's disappearing too. I love watching my husband step more into his masculinity. Thankfully, it's natural for him no matter how much culture has tried to destroy it.
I feel it’s the easiest time in history to be a high value man.
How so?
No competition. I noticed it too.
You ought to create content on UA-cam. You’ll be rewarded handsomely.

@@Thiiink part of being a masculine man is being honest with your emotions. Not only taking care of your own shit, but the shit around you too.
If there was a bigger payoff for men at rewarding masculinity at the end of their life. Good wife, family and money etc then men would aspire for more.
Of course those things you’re asking for at the end of life require effort in every category…..something todays generation isn’t always willing to do. Nobody is just handed a good wife, job, pension and kids.
@@skeezix8156 👏🏼👏🏼
You can get money, a wife, and a good family if you put in effort. Seems like you're just lazy.
A friend of mine told me that in his university (studying chemistry México city) the group of people that are friends of his now ex were talking about women kissing trans and It was si good, about men using skirts and that stuff. He felt he was in Sodom, also he told His (in that Time) girlfiend about Jesús and she started to reject him, and when he stoped talking to her she said that he had traumas lol.
what does this mean, "men still need to be men?"
Last time I checked military recruitment centers still exist. If you want to go fight in a great war, then put down the Xbox controller and go enlist.
That is the whole point of the Computer Game. It was designed by luciferian’s to take the men out of the fight and replace them with feminine men who literally get out there and cause chaos. Look at the Army SJW AD. The Medes are coming as prophesied in Jeremiah 51.

Instead of complaining about how times are so different, maybe try applying the principles from back then to contemporary society and your life as an individual. You can’t build a better future if you’re continuously looking towards the past wishing it was the present.
Not necessarily, we gotta compare to know there’s a REAL problem. And that’s what they’re doing here! The obvious key is, they can’t stay staring at the problem for too long which is where I start to agree with your point!
Debating isn't going to solve anything, better to just reflect, take the good things from the past, incorporate them to the future and be done with it.

Yes testosterone levels have been dropping since the 1980s, but the concept of 'masculinity' is a social one - not a biological one. In Japan, men dressed up as women in makeup (onnagata) in kabuki plays, yet when war broke, went out on horseback with swords and spears to slaughter armies. Every culture at different times have different ways of interpreting what masculinity 'should' be, and every generation gets to define it as they see fit. If you don't like how masculinity is today, find a time machine. A better way to interpret this is the old adage "Tough times make strong men, good times make weak men". We're living in good times here in the west.
@Random Fagget Nope, the kimonos used in kabuki theatre along with kumadori makeup is characteristically feminine. But back then dressing like woman had its place in society and was divorced from the warrior-culture. A man could exist in two modes at the same time. Problem is that today - you don't have that balance, just extremes.
You're justifying what's going on you just probably don't see it.
Weak men make tough times
The problem is man are becoming gays and woman becoming lesbians...that the problem not traditional clothes
@@adolfmudau9956 wrong that is not a 'problem'. homosexuality has existed since the dawn of time and is practiced by other mammalian species besides human. Therefore, it is completely natural - if it was a problem, it wouldn't have been selected out naturally a long time ago.
"We hear stories about wars and WWII and we want to go be a part of that." That is very stupid thing to say. These tough talking soy boys getting their ideas about war from movies instead of reality. Couldn't keep watching past that. You know you can still go join the army if you want, right?
We are suppose to prevent war as to protect everyone in society. Not wanting to start a war just so we can fight in one. Go play "call of duty" if that's what you want
That’s what you call toxic masculinity. Creating problems for everyone just to try and prove you’re manly, even though youre not.
Plus both Ukraine and Russia are taking in volunteers. But he'd rather spit on the mic about how tough he is.
Some kids really are too sensitive to being yelled at and it can do more harm than good. It’s like, encouragement and understanding can go a long way but if your a hard ass, it can be unnecessary and whatever. Johnny Depp’s line in the movie Dillinger helped me a lot. “my daddy beat the hell out of me cause he didn't know no better way to raise me.”
Shutup
It's interesting that lower Testosterone numbers are being normalized. How do you get rid of
"Toxic masculinity"? Tell men that a 300 ng/dl is normal. It's not.
Ever watched old black and white pictures of the so called high testosterone men 100 years ago? most men were 5'6 tall at best and skinny with zero muscles and even malnourished.
A caveman would look at the modern "masculine man" and assume that he is effeminate. The stereotypical masculinity/machismo is outdated. This day and age, it comes down to mastering yourself through introspection. Once you do that, you won't need to try to be masculine, you will be unmovable within your journey and command respect. Harry Styles wearing a dress means nothing, that is just his choice.
If you feel like there are habits you need to do, to be classified as a man or masculine,then you are a slave to another man's ideology. Someone/men in the past decided the standards of what being a man was and that is what we repeat to this day(another man's ideology). Figure yourself out,grow and become better. That is all you need.
Don't confuse symbols with values. Symbols (like the way you dress and talk and gestures) are quite fluid and keep changing according to the generation.
Values however, remain the same (be it caveman or the wars or 80s or genZ).
They seem to talk about values here. Get it through your head
@@Red-wh3ok What values are these?
@@vforvendetta60 provider, protector, leader, authority.
You are right only because of your limited view or scope.
How do you take back your country when it has been hijacked by evil politicians? We need nice guys who can't step up.
@@Red-wh3ok 1) Provider: In this day and age,that sees women and men earn equal wages,why does the man have to be the provider. The reason men were providers is because women were not allowed to work. You need a partner who is willing to share the financial burden with you equally.
EDIT: Many men commit suicide each year after losing their jobs because they have been conditioned into believing that their value is strongly attached to them being the provider. Other qualities are eclipsed.
2) Protector: I agree. As the physically stronger person in the house,protecting the family falls on the man. But in this modern/civilized era there are not many things to protect a family from. Disagreements and altercations can be solved by the authorities and courts. There are violent victimizations,but studies from the U.S Department of Justice(1994 - 2010) showed that the majority of them were committed by someone the victim knew(spouse..etc). So the person meant to protect the family is most likely to be the offender of a violent victimisation. It would have been worse back in the day when women were not afforded the rights and protections they had. Women were property and were forced to adhere to the whims of their husbands.
3) Leader: My response to this is ambiguous. I agree and disagree at the same time. If you want a detailed response I can give it,but it will be long.
4) Authority: Authority to whom? Most men will tell you that their authority at home is religated to the man cave/garage. A small hole that they can exercise whatever authority they are left with, on themselves. If said men actually cultivated their emotional intelligence and bettered their communication,they would have equal say within the household. Self mastery.
I think nothing has changed. I feel bc of social media, news gets around instantly, and things we would never see before are now all on the surface.

I was a emasculated yoing guy till 1...1.5 years ago. Freshman year in college, I was exposed to this propaganda of "how man can be feminine, they can cry, Nothing wrong with men being weak blah blah" and unconsciously my mind started using them in being weak. I had social anxiety and instead of facing my fears I used "men can be weak" attitude to hide inside my room. But something I noticed was how these feminists always tell "men can be feminine and such way they are attractive, fook social norms, trash patriarchy blah blah blah" but never ever saw a single feminist from my college (there were a lot of them, atleast queit a lot who spread these propaganda in social media) ever dating a feminine guy. They always choose masculine guy, those with good leadership qualities and manly aura. Always dated men who were taller than them, older than them and mostly earning better than them as well as men who were higher in the arbitary social hierarchy. Same feminist who tells there is nothing wrong in dating shorter men...younger men or men who were lower in this social/power hierarchy. After these observations and few personal experiences.... I started to man up... Took care of my responsibilities. Times have been hard but never felt more alive.
Two generations of men were raised by single women.
Divorce rates are the key metric here.
Strong men need to keep their nuclear families together, plain and simple.
It will only get worse now that it is popular to have two gay women raise young boys.
Unfortunately, it takes 20 to 30 years to see the results and quantify them.
I know... I grew up in a house with three women and no men, no tools, no weights, no traditional male responsibilities, no hard work, no male role models.
I am the little bitch you guys are talking about because of divorce.
“Strong men need to keep their nuclear families together.’ Way TOO late DP that ‘decision’ has been well and truly taken away. It’s almost never our decision anymore!
Yeah man, similar story to yours. No father, no one to provide a model of masculinity, low self-esteem, always felt unmanly and not knowledgeable about things a man should know.
Being self aware enough to know where to work on and what to fix is the best thing you can know. Stay up bro we all in this together 💪🏽
how can you keep family together when the wa h me n are given rights. and funny thing is most wa h me n are even against you when you mention this. then yeah, it is over lool

1. Define masculinity. 2.Define masculinity. This whole discussion lacks any link to defined and understood terms. Roles and modes of expression change constantly. 3. Define strong;what exactly is strength? A conversation without clarity is a boat without a rudder.
It’s the exact opposite of what you would define as femine, too passive not assertive enough, not truthful , practically a slave to desire and above all else not Following God through Christ.
@@shawnsimon6574 Wow. What a disturbing and awful comment. Confirms my views on the above horrible video.
Exactly, what exactly is being masculine? Not being allowed to wear what you want because it’s too “colorful” and “frilly”? Acting hostile towards others to affirm your macho persona? Bottling up your emotions till you crack and commit suicide because a man crying is feminine? Not showing your loved ones affection because that’s what a man does? These old ideas of masculinity is what has caused men to be labeled as savage beasts and centuries, why women and kids are told to stay away from men and be cautious around them. People need to stop reinforcing toxic stereotypes on men. Being masculine means a man not being afraid to express himself, not being afraid to admit when you’re wrong , not being afraid to admit your emotions, speaking out when you need help, masculinity means a man choosing his own path.
@@ayoidek6571 I'd absolutely agree with this. Very well put.
I don't subscribe to the idea of "femininity", and "masculinity" from a social sense, due to them being so poorly defined

Coming from a family of few male role models, I try to teach and share my experience with other young guys, If you are a CHAD pls dun be shy to mentor and advice younger guys, In my community i try my best to do that, other than being physically fit, we should share knowledge of how to make and save money, how to fix a broken faucet, how to replace windows, GUY stuff. Dont be shy to be loud and brash . Thats why i love watching footballl with my dudes so i can SHOUT at the top of my voice. Were all gonna make it together "ZYZZ"
I definitely had an awakening too and dropped the victimhood mentality ( thanks to this channel in part) as well as the other damaging doctrines that are so heavily pushed in our modern society to ruin men.
masculinity isn’t the answer to all these problems. they can all be solved just by having self responsibility, self sacrifice, good work ethic, etc. anyone can embody those things. for the hard times quote, that can be applied to all people, not just men.

Why are you so war like?
ok, we can agree but when are you going to hold men accountable for predatory behavior? If being a man means to be a leader, to do, be proactive, provide and protect, where's the leadership against unacceptable behavior from your peers?
That's not a gender issue. Women on dating sites for example aren't there to do nice things for men. They're there to prey on men and get free meals off them.
@@EsotericOccultist It should not feel like a loss to provide for a woman.
Most women in Western countries are probably feminist or at least agrees/support crazy feminists.
So, they can protect themselves as many of them think they are better than men and some even think they can live in a world without men😂.
In China they are basically banning the concept of flower boys in movies and dramas. They want more manly men to be glorified and admired than those that are feminine because the government was worried about “flower boys” becoming role models to young boys and the effects that would cause in future. The quickest effect is some known male celebrities who were known for being smooth faced and acting cute grew out their beards and started bulking in the gym so as not to lose future jobs for appearing more feminine.
If I were to consider who I pick as Young China’s role model I would pick Wang Yibo, well known singer, dancer, actor, biker dude . He was also in their olympics advert . If I were to pick someone for young America it could be lilNasx who is the singer and super famous right now (I don’t know much about him apart from some headlines of scandalous activity) .
It is not difficult to see that these two men stand for completely different things .
It is fascinating linking this to that conversation . As for if the government is right in interfering in such a way is a completely different conversation .
lil nas x doesn't represent american youth lol but i see your point
Hi, I’m not very familiar with him, I know lots of people like him though. Who would you consider to be under 25 and can fill those shoes more suitably?
Jayden Smith crosses my mind . But I don’t know what’s he’s being up to recently .
Don't change definition of masculinity just build more
I agree with these idea however, we are also not like those times where barbarians are invading us and we need to constantly be in battle. So I would like to see more arguments other than how we “used” to be.
Tell that to Ukrainians 🤷♂️
@@EsotericOccultist We're talking about the US. And PBD is talking about the eveyday man. Not military.
see I feel like yes ,masculinity has changed, but I do also feel like men have more of a space to be more open about their struggles and such. there's mote of space for things like fashion. there's so much more to it.
I don’t like men being restricted in how they can look, dress or express themselves while women have much more freedom because it’s discriminating and sexist
The solution is just be a man, don't apologize for being one, and f**k anyone who dosen't like it. It's your life, not theirs. They're toxic, your masculinity is not.
Its not it's just not being shown in the Media.
The real question here is: what is the definition of a real men? Are the traits built on pure strength? Or also on charism or empathy? Before we say that we should man up, we first need to define what a “real man” is. We are living in a time where we are reinventing our identity, and I also see this as a chance for being strong and at the same time empathetic, as you need both to succeed in life.

Guys I've been in this community for 2 years, I believe I've heard everything these people have to say. I knew what they were gonna say before I clicked on this video. My advice to you, don't base your life on these statistics even if you believe they're correct. You make all these rules for yourself and in the end it just makes you angrier and more dissatisfied. Try to be calm and non emotional about this stuff, take it easy and just live day to day without overthinking it. I know this sounds vague but my point is, radical change never amounts to anything good. Keep balance in your life and try not to change your character with every advice you hear on the manosphere. That's it. Good luck.
Best comment on here. Real men learn who they are and live life on their terms. Balance is key
Ya, give the same advice that got men here.
You have stats for a reason to plan, decide and if the stats show everything is not alright, "we should make the rules for ourself"
I would give you a scenario - statistics says 80% of the population would die if they walked five steps but you would say no, i make rules for myself and make more than 20 steps. And you die, now you've become a statistic.
Let's assume you don't die, you would assume as you have now that statistics shouldn't be something you base your life on and then begin to give ted talks of how people should live their lives and the stats keeps getting worse.
Tldr: statistics are for a reason. Knowing it makes your life better and helps making better decisions.
One of the key periods of time in Japan was 12 century were the imperial faction lost power. The refined court warriors who became feminized due to long period of peace lost to hard masculine warriors from the country side. Sound familiar?
I have been hearing this for 50 years, though.
If you're talking about people with masculine taste and interests, I disagree. Masculinity is not disappearing, it's not going anywhere.
There's still plenty of masculine men out there, I see them everyday and everywhere I go. Even feminine men have some masculine traits within them. There's also women who are masculine, we usually call them 'tomboys' or 'butch'. The same goes for femininity.
Some men are feminine and some women are masculine, get used to it.
masculine men don't go off of appearance, so you are kind of wrong
The role of men was never really defined here in this clip by any of these guys besides the vague ‘manlinesses.’ And what they described as an easy society was all due to technology.
I believe people can do whatever they want and I love that people are aware toxic masculinity in terms of recognizing mental health more (NOT the feminist definition) however, I do agree that masculinity is being diminished, as well as femininity.
We have good leaders, they were sent overseas and came back broken and we dont know what to do with them now.
